Hi,
Edit the /etc/exports add the entry of exported filesystem.
e.i.

/usr/bin -access=srv1:srv2:srv3,rw=srv3 # read to srv1 and2 read/write to srv3

apply the command
/usr/sbin/exportfs -a

make changes in /etc/rc.config.d/nfsconf

NFS_SERVER=1
START_MOUNTD=1

start the daemons processes using
# /sbin/init.d/nfs.server start

Client

make changes in /etc/rc.config.d/nfsconf

NFS_CLIENT=1

start the daemons processes using

# /sbin/init.d/nfs.client start

mount the file system

On the NFS server:
sam =>
Networking and Communications =>
Networked File Systems ->
Exported Local File Systems =>
Go to Action Tab => Add Exported File System ==>
Local-Directory Name:
Select <*> Specify UID for Unknown User
Give User ID: 0
On Permission for File Access
Select " Specify Root-User Access "
Add the NFS client hostname
Click OK and Apply.

The /etc/exports file should be:
cat /etc/exports
-anon=0,root=

sam ==> Add Remote File System => Using NFS
>

ON NFS client:
sam =>
Networking and Communications =>
Networked File Systems ->
Mounted Remote File Systems =>
Go to Action:
Add Remote File System ->Using NFS...

Local-Directory Name: Specify the Local directory where it needs to be mounted
Remote-Server Name:
Remote-Directory Name:

â When to Mount:
â [X] Now â
â [X] At System Boot â

[ Mount Options... ]
Access Permissions: [â Read/Write â

Click OK

>mount -v 135.254.229.180: /shabadi /shabadi

You can't use -v with that mount. You shouldn't have a space:
mount 135.254.229.180:/shabadi /shabadi

>Here I have given IP address of remote server (135.254.229.180)

Any reason you are using the IP rather than a name or FQDN?

edit file /etc/exports and add the name of directory you want to share, for ex:
/data1 -anon=0
then, run "exportfs -av", then try to mount to other server:
# mount -F nfs /data1 10.x.x.x:/a

Hi Jeevan,

For NFS server:-

1. Edit the /etc/exports file and add entries for exported file systems.
2. Use the exportfs -a command to export these file systems.
3. Edit the /etc/rc.config.d/nfsconf file and set proper values to different variables as mentioned earlier.
4. Execute the /sbin/init.d/nfs.core start command.
5. Execute the /sbin/init.d/nfs.server start command

for NFS client:-

1. Edit the /etc/rc.config.d/nfsconf file to enable an NFS client to be started at boot time.
2. Edit the /etc/fstab file to mount remote file systems at system boot time.
3. Create mount points for the remote file systems.
4. Ensure that the name of the NFS server is present in the /etc/hosts file if NIS or DNS are not being used.
5. Synchronize client and server clocks to ensure that time stamps are correct on modified files.
6. Either reboot the system or start the NFS client and mount remote file systems manually.
7. Verify mounted file systems using the mount command

Regards!

Hi,

Are you able to ping or rlogin into the 135.254.229.180 server.

Did you add 135.254.229.180 host into your clients /etc/hosts file?

Hi Jeeva,
>>i am able to ping and rlogin by using ipaddress but not with hostname.

Add this line into your /etc/hosts file

hostname 135.254.229.180

save the file now ping with hostname or login with hostname
